Records three hits in loss Castro went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Guardians.
Impact Castro, who played at third base and right field in this one, recorded his first three-hit effort since May 10. The 25-year-old has been playing well this month with a .286/.375/.393 slash line across eight games. His versatility is allowing him to play regularly for the Tigers, giving him some fantasy utility while he's producing at the plate.

Records sixth steal Castro went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Twins.
Impact Castro had hit safely in five of his last six games, but he wasn't able to do so Tuesday. Instead, he drew multiple walks for just the second time all season. The steal was his sixth of the year and first since July 12. The 25-year-old utility man is slashing .244/.282/.353 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 31 runs scored through 255 plate appearances.

Goes deep again Friday Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Castro has now homered in consecutive games, which has doubled his season home run total from two to four. The 25-year-old is still sporting just a .640 OPS, which is in line with the .624 mark he registered last year. Castro's .931 OPS across 36 games during the condensed 2020 campaign is looking like a small-sample outlier at this point in his career.

Hits third home run Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact Castro hit his third home run of the season and first since June 13 in the second inning. The 25-year-old looked like he was taking over the everyday role at third base heading into the All-Star break, though Jeimer Candelario has seemingly retaken the job. As a result, Castro is seeing more time in right field, which is where he started Thursday. He's only batting .248 with a .629 OPS, so he doesn't have a ton of fantasy appeal given his playing time and performance.

Takes seat Wednesday Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Impact Castro will take a seat after he started each of the past three games in right field while going 3-for-12 with three runs over that stretch. Victor Reyes will get the nod in right field in Wednesday's series finale, but Castro looks as though he could be the Tigers' preferred option at the position until Austin Meadows (Achilles) is ready to return from the 10-day injured list.

Loses out on primary 3B role Castro will start in right field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Padres.
Impact Castro appeared to overtake Jeimer Candelario as Detroit's top third baseman heading into the All-Star break, but the latter player has now picked up four of five starts at the position to begin the second half. Meanwhile, Castro has made all three of his starts in right field, where he'll likely be part of a timeshare with Akil Baddoo and Victor Reyes until Austin Meadows (Achilles) is back from the injured list.
